Chapter VI Game Rules

Quinine Carrick gave a simple self-introduction and took out an oval badge from his waist and placed it on the table. The badge was engraved with a vertical sword, which was shiny and looked like it was made of copper. After three months and three seconds, the badge was put away and the skin was picked up again.

"Someone paid me to track something, which was related to this animal skin."

Paused.

"The skin you see now is not just a skin. It contains some secrets that can make people crazy and lose their minds. Like beasts and monsters, Rensard went crazy and lost his mind because of the content on this skin, and then killed the dead on the ground. Now that he has disappeared, what does it mean?"

Li Tong felt that out of politeness, he should continue the conversation.

“What does it mean?”

Quinine Carrickten leaned forward and leaned his head closer, lowering his voice as if he was about to tell something ulterior motive.

"It means that the nights in this town will no longer be safe. The crazy Rensade will appear at any time at night, and then kill some of the residents here until everyone here is killed, including you, you must not want to live in great danger, right? This crisis must be lifted."

There is no hope of leaving here for the time being and I have to stay here for a while. Lenzade is indeed a threat, and the other party is right.

Li Tong looked at the angular face in front of him and leaned his head back and kept his distance. Of course, it was not because of fear. He had already known the other party's identity at this time. He was not the murderer, but just the bounty hunter who used money to do things, but because of the other party...bad breath!

"How long has it been since this guy brushed his teeth..."

After keeping a distance, I looked at the guy in front of me with skepticism.

Quinine Carrick obviously knew nothing about his bad breath, his expression was earnest, his tone was no longer tough, and he eased a lot.

"So you have to help me, provide all the real information you know, and after finding him, I will relieve the crisis for you, and after it is lifted, I will leave here, just as nothing has happened."

Li Tong was funny. This guy used both soft and hard skills. When he first met, he deliberately tried to question him without blinking. After that, he changed his strategy and used his emotions to move him with reason.

But after knowing the other party's true purpose, he could not reveal his identity. The bounty hunter clearly stated that the things he was entrusted to investigate were related to animal skins. To be precise, it was the mysterious power on the animal skins. It was not out of humanitarianism, and the spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" to solve the crazy Rensade, but wanted to find relevant information about the mysterious powers from Rensade.

Once you confess your identity, the bounty hunter will definitely give up Lenzadeh and change his goal to himself. Maybe he will kill people to silence him. Anyway, there is no law enforcement agency in this world that presides over justice, and the profession of bounty hunter is not trustworthy in film and television works in previous lives.

Thinking of this, he apologized.

"Sorry, although I want to help you, I really know nothing."

Paused.

"If nothing happens, I think I can leave now, right?"

Quinine Carrick stared at the young man in front of him for a long time nodded.

Leaving from the house, Li Tong walked calmly, stepping on the snow step by step, as if nothing had happened, but his heart was magnificent.

"Slow down, this guy must be watching secretly at the window. If he panics, the other party will notice the problem."

I walked to my door, and deliberately stopped and looked back at the street before pushing the door in.

After entering the door, he leaned against the door and gasped heavily. He found that his back was completely soaked in sweat.

After calming down a little, he lay down on the window and looked at the cabin opposite Rensade through the gap in the curtains. After staring for a long time, the bounty hunter walked out of it. The next move made Li Tong almost suffocate.

The bounty hunter carrying two long swords began to knock on the door one by one along the street.

The other party gave up waiting for the rabbit and began to take the initiative.

If this continues, the bounty hunter will soon know the intimate relationship between himself and Lenzadeh. Ms. Yenny Fook said that only he and Lenzadeh are the closest relationship, and most people in the town should know it.

After looking through the window for a while, Li Tong stood up.

"If this continues, it will be exposed sooner or later. It is impossible to hide it. Since this is the case, it is better to face it directly. It is better to confess yourself than to others who come to the door."

If you take life and death indifferently, do it if you don’t accept it!

Holding his energy, he opened the door and walked out.

His steps were solid and powerful, and he walked behind the bounty hunter who was knocking from door to door.

"Don't you want to know about Lenzade? I'm very familiar with him."

The bounty hunter who turned around looked at the young man with his chest erect like a big rooster behind him, obviously also a little confused and looked stunned.

I was stunned for a while before I came to my senses.

"You mean..."

Li Tong interrupted directly.

"Yes, I'm very familiar with him. No one in this town knows him more well than me. Come with me."

...

The stove in the house is strong enough, and the house is as warm as spring at this moment, and it is even a little overheated.

Li Tong sat at the desk and looked at the bounty hunter sitting opposite him, looking at the other party's eagle-like eyes. At this time, he suddenly realized that the previous recklessness disappeared, like a balloon being deflated.

He suddenly understood something.

"Some things must be done when your mind is hot, and once you calm down, you will lose your courage."

He pursed his lips.

"Well, let's talk about the conditions first, you have to ensure that I will not be in danger next."

Quinine Carrick's originally serious face slowly smiled, and a little helpless smile, shook his head.

"I didn't plan to hurt any normal person from the beginning. If some of the previous actions made you feel like I was murderous, I apologize to you and solemnly promise that our conversation will be like an old friend in the future."

He reached out and pulled out the two swords and handed them over, spreading his hands.

Li Tong looked at the two swords that had been placed in front of him and smiled helplessly. Now, as long as he stretched out his hand, he would be fully confident that he would get the two swords before the other party took action.

"Did I really misunderstand this guy at the beginning?"

After coming back to his senses, his eyes fell on the other person's face again.

"I am very familiar with him. We have studied the contents of the slab together. As for the dead in the room of Rensade, I also know him. He was from the church of Order. The first person he found after he arrived here was me, and I sent him to Rensade."

The bounty hunter was stunned for a long time and frowned, looking incredible.

"You mean you have also studied slate content?"

Li Tong nodded.

"Yes, I've studied the contents of slate."

The bounty hunter stared at the young man in front of him, his expression a little complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"You have studied the content of the slate together. Now your companion, Rensade, is in a madness, and you have no problem. So you are lucky than your companion, and have awakened, what are your abilities?"

I was indeed lucky to have Belonthad, because the magic ritual avoided the cursed end, but...

The ability to obtain? Li Tong looked puzzled and unable to understand.

The bounty hunter was not able to get the answer he wanted for a long time. He reached into his arms with one hand, then quickly pulled out, and held a pistol in his hand, aiming the black muzzle at the young man in front of him.

"What is your ability after awakening?" As he spoke, his thumb moved the machine spring and made a crisp sound, which was a loading action.

I never expected that the two swords were just a cover, and the real killing move was a gun. There was already a gun in this era. Li Tong couldn't even think of it even though he wanted to break his head. He widened his eyes and lay quietly on the chair, holding the armrests of the chair tightly with his hands, staring at the dark muzzle, and his heart was magnificent.

"Damn... Damn... How come you play with me? How could you have a gun? This grandson is so stupid. I just said that I'm like an old friend. I'll go to your grandma's old friend. This is cheating and cheating. I'm not convinced. I want to report you to break the rules of the game... I curse you if you have a baby..."

But this is not a game, it is life!

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and showed a harmless and sincere smile.

"I swear, I don't know what you say or what abilities you have gained?"

Quinine Carrick smiled and started to increase force when his fingers pulling the trigger. He could hear the sound of the trigger slowly pulling.

"You and your companions study the content of the slab and want to obtain the mysterious power on the slab. Now they are awakened, which means they have studied it very thoroughly, but you say you don't know what I'm talking about, who will believe it?"

The other party is right, anyone would think that this answer is a scam.

From the other party’s words, we can understand that gaining abilities is a benefit after “awakening”.

But the so-called "awakening" phenomenon in me was not caused by mastering the mysterious power of stone slabs, but was caused by time travel. I did not gain any special abilities, at least not yet discovered.

Judging from the current situation, the facts from another world must not be revealed to the cunning bounty hunter, otherwise he would not know what to do with him next, but he needed a convincing statement in front of him to save his life.

Li Tong's thinking quickly turned, and soon had an idea and cried.

"Because I was deeply troubled by the sequelae of studying the mysterious power, I decided to gamble and use a magical ritual to travel across the world. Well, unfortunately, the ritual failed and I am still here, but I found that all my sequelae disappeared. That's it. It's true. Although I have signs of "awakening", I actually did not awaken, so I don't have the ability you said."

The bounty hunter showed an idiot-like expression, and his smile was fun, as if he was saying "Make it, then make it..."

Of course, Li Tong had a way to make the other party believe it. Because all the words just said were true, it just hides the fact that Ronin Austin was dead.

After a pause, his smile was still sincere and harmless, he pointed at the door behind the bedroom.
